Combat Warplanes / SAI-Ambrosini SS.4
« on: September 10, 2007, 05:39:48 PM »
The SAI-Ambrosini SS.4 was an Italian fighter prototype developed in the late 1930s but never mass produced. The radical design for its day featured a canard-style wing layout and a 'pusher' propeller. Although intended as an air-superiority interceptor, the SS.4 never entered service because the design suffered from numerous faults which caused the prototype to crash-land, killing the test pilot (chief test pilot, eng. Ambrogio Colombo). The design, although unique, barely compared favorably to contemporary fighters, and the Regia Aeronautica decided not to pursue the design because of these shortcomings.
The engine was a powerful Isotta Fraschini Asso IX RC.40, a liquid cooled engine capable of 960 hp which drove a 3 bladed metallic propeller.
max speed 540 km/h,
stalled around 110-120 km/h.
length6.74m,
wingspan 12.32m,
wing area 17.5m2
Armament
SS.4 was armed with a 30 mm cannon and a pair of 20 mm

Thank you both , I'm lucky to only live about 30 minutes away from the airfield, so I try and get to visit ever couple of months.
You are really a lucky man...

FMA IAe 24 Calquin (Royal Eagle). The IAe24 "Calquin" (Royal Eagle) was a two-seat atack figther desined by the FMA (Fabrica Militar de Aviones - Military Aircraft Factory) in 1944 to replace the Douglas A8 bombers of the Argeetine Air Force.
Originally the I.Ae. 24 was also intended to be equipped with Rolls-Royce Merlins but an adequate supply of the powerplants was not possible, consequently Pratt & Whitney R-1830-G “Twin Wasp” radials of 1,050 hp (782.5 kW) were substituted. Performance estimates of a Merlin-powered variant would have made it comparable to the Mosquito but the R-1830-powered prototype was only able to achieve 273 mph (440 km/h). A later prototype, the I.Ae.28 was equipped with Rolls-Royce Merlins but the project was superseded by the more capable I.Ae. 30 "Ñancú"
First flight 02 25 1946.
Retired 1960
Primary user Fuerza Aérea Argentina
Produced 1947-1950
Number built 101
Specifications
Crew 2
Dimensions
Wingspan 16.3 mts (53.8 ft)
Length 12.0 mts (40.0 ft)
Height 03.4 mts (11.2 ft)
Engine
Two - Pratt & Whittney R-1830-SCG "Twin Wasp" at 2300 RPM 1050 hp
Performance
Maximum speed 440 km/h (238 kts)
Cruise speed, km/h 380 km/h (205 kts)
Service ceiling 10000 m (33,300 ft)
Service range 1,140 km (616 NM)
Armament
04 Browning .5 machine guns and a variety of bombs
and rockets of different weights and characteristics
